No Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Shamrock Cheesecake

No Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Shamrock Cheesecake – an easy mint green dessert for St. Patrick’s Day!

The mint chocolate chip marshmallows are back :)

I raved about them yesterday. I know, you might be thinking.. “Beth, you are crazy, making your own homemade shamrock marshmallows!”

Well, I think you’re crazy for not wanting to try them. If we were neighbors I would make you a batch and we could sip on hot cocoa munching marshmallows together. Actually, I would probably talk you into helping me shovel the 10 inches of snow that fell overnight in exchange for marshmallows, of course.

Today’s post is supposed to be about the no bake mint chocolate chip cheesecake. And if you are a no bake cheesecake fan like me, then you’ll love it.

This recipe is especially great for St. Patrick’s Day because it’s a super quick green dessert that you can whip up in under one hour.

Of course you don’t have to top your mint chocolate chip cheesecakes with mint chocolate chip marshmallows, but I couldn’t resist. The only thing that’s better than mint chocolate chip is more mint chocolate chip. Think about eating a mint chocolate brownie with a scoop of mint chip ice cream, that’s a good combo, so I know this is a good combo :)
